Hi all.  I have been using my own mouse routines and installed my own mouse
interrupt handler.  Here is the problem:

1.  I am using a 386/33 using Borland C++ (BC /X, not BCX).
2.  When running Logitech Mouse Driver 5.00 I have found that when I run my
program I get a "Stack Overflow!" error.  I have stack checking enabled.
This happens on my 386 but not on a 286.
3.  This does not happen using Logitech Mouse 4.00.
4.  The stack overflow occurs the SECOND I TOUCH THE MOUSE after my routines
to install my mouse handler (call back function) are executed.
5.  The machine will work inconsistently with stack checking off.

So, the question is:

Is there a bug with Logitech 5.00 that I am not aware of?  If so, why do
my other mouse programs (Eye of the Beholder, Windows 3.0, BC++, etc.) work
with the driver and my programs die?  Is there something that I am missing
here fundamentally?

And I own the Microsoft Mouse PRogrammer's Reference, but it is the worst
programming book I have yet to lay eyes on.

*sigh*

This is real annoying.  Any replies, posted or mailed, would be appreciated.
